Verno wrote on Aug 27, 2014, 10:56:Yeah it was a weird summer, my neighbor called this month Augtober because we had basically no humid days right up to yesterday. My power bill is very low too, I think we only used the AC once when I was cooking for like 5 hours, the rest of the time we just opened the windows. I definitely prefer it this way, I just hope we have a better winter this year. Last winter there was almost no thaw so the accumulation got pretty nuts, I had massive drifts on my lawn and a few inches of ice underneath.

Sounds pretty damned familiar here as well, a lot of people in Canada are calling it the "summer that didn't happen." Around here in Southern Ontario, yesterday was the first day a lot of people flipped on their AC. In Julyish, maybe later June, my sister got 25cm(10") of snow out in Alberta, it stuck around for 2-3 days. It's normally 20C(68F) around then. She's in the northern part of the province, the previous two times they had snow in June/July was back when Pinatubo erupted, and years from 75-79.

But last winter wasn't bad here. Hmm think it was 3-4 years ago we had a really bad winter here, 22' snow fall accumulations in some places in 48hrs because of the lakes. This year though, there was still ice on Lake Huron and Superior.

Hypocrites you can bet on it. They're too busy covering their ass.

But their terms with most vendors are to not pay them until 30-90 days after that dollar is earned, giving them a nice window to make the dollar, spend the dollar, then get the dollar back.

You know, if you're in the red you're losing money faster than you can make it. What they're doing is spending money they don't have on the basis that it will be leveraged against future earnings, which is a terrible way to run a business. Now, they could be tapping into a vast backup reserve, but that's not ever mentioned.

They're about ruthlessly bullying and silencing anyone that even slightly disagrees, all while demanding they themselves be heard. Which is why more and more people are ignoring them...

Nailed it. I grant you 6 internets of your choice.

Be honest, it's not "the internet is a vile place" it's "the world is a vile place." The internet is no more different than the places off the screen. And to toss in, I know those various women who back in the days of not all that long ago who were being vicious, abusive, and engaging in all forms of misandry against gamers. Until of course, they got into gaming and experienced their own abuse back at them.

I'm also sure, anyone that's been though highschool can remember the same types of things happening, and if you watched them "grow up" they continued doing exactly the same types of things, until they got into gaming and then started crying. There's no shortage of mean girls who grew up into mean women, and then got a return on their investment.

Then again, this entire thing isn't about that. It still remains about corruption. But hey, if you want to see a complete level of assholeness from the sjw's, notice that after thefineyoungcapitalists got an assload of money from 4chan, they decided to go out of their way and hack their funding page.

Don't you people get it by now? He's been doing the same act for years and will deflect when called out or when others just like him are exposed.

Beamer wrote on Aug 23, 2014, 20:10:And the whole "sjw" thing is such bullshit. I'm sorry, using that term is a way of saying there is no issue with women in games

The issue is enormous. This thread repeatedly proves it. There's a huge lack of respect. From prominent users here. Plenty of men feel they're more deserving, and don't need to show respect, or that nature hardwired them to be asses so its ok.

What bugs me isn't that Zoe clearly seems to need mental help, but that so many here dismiss an entire, huge issue due to this, and in their dismissal seem to just verify the proble.

Beamer wrote on Aug 23, 2014, 16:10:And, frankly, do you guys not think other industries have people that sleep with journalists? I'd imagine Erin Andrews has slept with a few athletes. Of course, to many of the men here, that would be her using her body to get access to exclusives, not, you know, the mirror of here and athletes using their bodies to get coverage.

According to her feminist and sjw logic however, she and of course erin andrews would have committed rape. Just throwing that out there, I'm sure the hypocrisy of all of this will also click in for a few people.

Y'all need to chill.

I'm guessing you don't live in Canada, if you did you'd hate him just on the basis that he's from Quebec and has Quebecker entitlement syndrome engraved in his DNA. No, what Fish needs to do is grow up and learn that outside of his safety bubble that "things happen, and actions have consequences." This is something that's oblivious to most people from that province. It's also oblivious to various people in large metro cities in Ontario.

That's nice, Urban dictionary is about as trustworthy and CNN in terms of definitions and facts. But if you're not paying attention to the sjw's, that's tough being that they do call themselves that. Unless of course you're implying that they're "putting themselves down" on purpose.

So let's see, an individual calls themselves thus, therefore it's a pejorative manner. Makes perfect since, in the land of political correctness. And I'm guessing you're not a student of history, not even in passing; otherwise you'd have figured that out.

Beamer wrote on Aug 22, 2014, 00:44:I've only ever heard that term used by super conservative misogynist people like you.

Oh? Strange that I've heard it being used quite a bit by various people who lean heavily into misandry. Perhaps you need to get out more.

InBlack wrote on Aug 22, 2014, 03:21:There is nothing wrong with the term. Its actually quite a compliment, something that Mashiki or Mad Max can't seem to grasp. There is nothing wrong with fighting for social justice, whether on the left or on the right, as a matter of fact it's even something that the extreme right claims (as perverted as it sounds) as its own (See: National Socialism...)

Strange, I seem to "get" the term just fine, see point: Where I said that's where they called themselves thus. Perhaps you're just not paying attention. Here's the difference between "fighting for social justice" and "being a sjw" the first is doing something active. The second is sitting at their keyboard, blotting out twitter posts, and whining about the perceived injustices. In many cases "first world problems," you'll note quickly that the sjw's aren't ready to get their hands dirty on something, nor will they decry anything that might be construed as bigoted, let alone racist.

Of course, your quip about national socialism is fun. Just remember that "national socialism" in that particular context, was the solution to "Leninism-marxism" not being quite right.
